[color=bc8dbf]"I have no intention of respecting the wishes of a tempermental psychopath sponging off her mother's power, nor anyone who lobotomizes men and makes them their slaves, or any charlatan who maintains their power through ridiculous rumors,"[/color] Metou said back to Jiang, wishing she had said it in a less harsh tone the moment it came out of her mouth, but since she was already on a roll, she continued. [color=bc8dbf]"I admit the Ki Witch is dangerous, but that's all the more reason we must be honest with the true dangers associated with our quest if we are to make business with Ru in good faith, if they help us they deserve to know who's involved."[/color]

As long as she was being this snippy, Metou figured she might as well drive the point home. [color=bc8dbf]"Besides, rolling over for a wolf won't make them any less hungry,"[/color] Metou said, [color=bc8dbf]"If you think doing every single thing the Ki Witch asks us to do will end with anything but a piece of bone wedged in each of our skulls, you're naive. When she turns against us, we don't want to be alone against her. Think, there's no reason she'd want her involvement in our affairs to be a secret if these thieves could supposedly destroy or control the island, she would be a hero. She needs to be a secret because she's [i]using us[/i]."[/color]
